Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

structured audio instructional program regarding puberty

The intervention was a structured audio-based educational program on puberty specifically designed for visually impaired adolescent girls. It differed from routine school health education by being fully accessible, audio-centered, and supplemented with Braille materials, rather than relying on visual or printed resources. Key distinguishing features included: Format: Three prerecorded and researcher-delivered audio instructional sessions in simple Arabic language, tailored to the comprehension level of adolescents with visual impairment. Content Scope: Comprehensive coverage of pubertal physiological changes, menstrual cycle information, emotional and psychological changes, menstrual hygiene practices, nutrition during menstruation, and daily healthy behaviors. Accessibility Adaptations: Provision of a Braille-printed educational booklet for each participant and an additional simplified booklet for mothers to reinforce home-based support. Delivery Method: Small group sessions cond
